When it was established in 1828, the institution now called the University of Central Lancashire was entitled the Preston Institute for the Diffusion of Knowledge. This original commitment to the diffusion of knowledge remains a central part of the University's mission to link teaching and research in a shared community dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. 180 years later, we paid homage to this mission in the title of the journal: Diffusion, with the first issue released in 2008 including work from departments across the university.Â Diffusion relaunched in 2018 under new managment and is now focused on publishing workÂ by Humanities and Social Sciences students.
